Hoffman, Peter B.

Vilcey, France around the time of the St. Mihiel Front during World War I. The photographer is standing on a muddy, dirt road and facing the town of Vilcey. To the right of the image, on the side of the road in the grass are many boxes and crates stacked up and thrown down on the ground. There are two artillery shells standing up on a box. Towards the left is the town. There are buildings without roofs and walls. There is a church in the background and part of the steeple is off of the ones side. Open fields are behind the town. The road has wheels tracks and foot tracks.
